Shadows of the Heart

Unraveling Secrets

Asher was not the only one twisted in the veil of secrets. Their parents had always been protective of Phoebe and Simone, often bending truths around bedtime tales. What had seemed innocuous—a story about a distant family connection of witches—was suddenly projected into a realm of harsh reality.

“It’s true,” Asher continued after being invited in. “Your bloodline is special. The hunters of our kind—vampires and witches—are active in your town. They are searching for people like you.”

Phoebe and Simone exchanged glances, a mixture of disbelief and intrigue swirling between them. What had their lives hidden from them this whole time?

“But it doesn’t matter,” Asher added cryptically. “What matters now is that your both are in danger. Your parents went into hiding after they discovered the truth. You have to come with me.”

The twins’ minds raced. It was one thing to hear whispers of supernatural realms, but stepping into one shattered their fragile sense of normalcy.
